Beat Iowa Dual Thread
- Thread starter JM4CY

Yep it was pretty obvious if you were sitting on the Iowa side.
I wish they'd have had them on the mat ready to go right at noon so that anybody watching NFL Countdown would have immediately gotten wrestling instead of pictures of snow and the same generic ESPN graphics intro. Could have hooked a few.
One of my biggest takeaways from the dual yesterday was this: our kids seemed to have a great gameplan for every opponent (maybe besides PJ, but I think that was more him just being himself). I feel like I haven't seen our kids that well prepared for a LONG time. Just coincidence or was there something/someone who helped with that? Is it maybe Chris Perry being on staff (not really "on staff")?
Chris Perry is making a big difference in the room. Very happy he is in Ames
Anyone think how Brands boys came out for Ferrari’s win was different than the rest? Tim came onto the mat and IIRC, put his hands on both sides of his face at one time. The rest he didn’t seem as excited for.
I'd tell you my opinion of hawk wrestling fans and coaches, but I better defer.
The Ferrari's are delicate flowers that must be coddled at all times.
I just finished reading through all 39 pages of this thread. I was at Hilton yesterday and I can't think of a better match that I've seen in person. A few observations:
I thought, overall, the referee was pretty good, although the stall on MJ at the end was awful. I felt like I knew when the stall calls were coming for the most part although Keuter and Bailey deserved more calls against.
I thought I saw Tom come over at the end to shake hands. Other than him continually running outside the mat control area I thought he was pretty subdued most of the meet. I don't understand how he continually gets away with running around like that. And I didn't notice that the Iowa team wasn't on the floor at the end, but It's probably all for the best TBH.
Really disappointed in Paniro. I was hoping he made a real change in his style but he reverted to old Paniro when the pressure was on. Ride or die with Jacob.
Of the two, we have become the aggressor. Credit to KD, Metcalf and St John for teaching the right way and entertaining way and recruiting kids who want to wrestle their best. Honestly, we haven't been able to say that for 40 years until the last 2 or 3 years.
So happy for all the former Cyclones who didn't get to experience a CyHawk win of their own. Gadsen, David, Coleman and many many others.
So proud to be a Cyclone!

I think it was 2021 where there was dang near a melee after the dual, so I wouldn't be surprised if the administrators instructed them to skip the hand shake line. I'd rather just assume the Hoks are sore losers though.
Lots of criticism of Paniro here but I wonder what he might have done otherwise with an opponent half a head taller who continually blocked his shots. One of the announcers (probably Rock Harrison) mentioned that Ech (also a short guy) was "wrestling in his phone booth" (I think that was the phrase)--and obviously having success with that.
CRTC coach I think. He’s also coaching commits at tournaments and other matches (Merrill, Mastny).
